Larkin Grimm Quotes

• I think everybody is psychic. I think it's one of the things in our subconscious that, for some reason, we've convinced ourselves that it's not real or possible, and luckily, we're getting closer and closer, I think we're using technology to give us these psychic powers that we already had. It's sort of like the idea that you can't dream up something unless it already exists.

• La ayahuasca es un brebaje que se hace de la vid, que es el elemento alucinógeno. Y también está esta hoja de un arbusto. Y la vid se supone que es lo masculino y el arbusto se supone que es lo femenino, y esta mujer chamán hizo una ceremonia de beber té con nosotros, donde bebimos Wyoosa. Y la intención era ir y encontrar pedazos de tu alma que faltaban y traerlos de vuelta a tu cuerpo para que pudieras vivir más plenamente contigo mismo y se llama recuperación del alma.

• The closest thing I could think of that men go through is like a prisoner of war being tortured, and then coming back from that experience. It's traumatic and grounding and makes you commit to the world. Also, because you want all of these things for your kid.

• I remember reading a book that was on songwriting at some point that I found in my dad's store, and just... I did not relate at all. I've always hated structure of all kinds, it just doesn't work for me. I can never fit into the schedules of other people. It's like putting a schedule on your song, and it doesn't allow you to be moved by your own music.

• Usually, I think it's best to play the song for them once and have them mix it up on the spot, because when the logical mind gets too involved, I think it kills a lot of magic. I just think the subconscious mind is so much smarter, and unfortunately, people do not trust their subconscious. A lot of people just don't access to all of that, the secret genius that's inside of them. And it's so much easier to get it out of a musician if you don't give them a chance to overthink.

• Donde vas a esas escuelas realmente buenas, y se trata de prepararte para el siguiente paso de éxito. Eso nunca estuvo en mi radar. Mi trabajo es explorar el mundo, porque esta es mi única vida, ¿sabes? Así es como yo lo veo. Pero llegué a Yale diciendo: "Sí, ahora voy a explorar este lugar y conocer a todas estas personas que son realmente inteligentes. Me entusiasmaba estar rodeado de gente tan inteligente como yo o probablemente más. Y simplemente no esperaba el nivel de competencia y amargura y enojo, y, el destrozarse unos a otros.

• Most of the musicians that I'm playing with now have jazz backgrounds, so they're comfortable with improvisation. And they all know to make eye contact with me, and I'll give them some kind of sign when I think that the song's ending. Or maybe I don't even have to, because they all sort of feel it at the same time.

• Like the ability of all the musicians to end the song at the right time. Or when it's time for a chord change, but nobody knows what the chord should be, and you all, you know, it all just changes, magically, at the same time. It's when you pick up your phone to call someone and that person is calling you.

• Las mujeres musulmanas que he conocido son superpoderosas, increíbles e inteligentes, y no se dejan frenar por las leyes que existen. Y ya sabes, Internet existe ahora, y los teléfonos móviles están liberando cosas. Tengo un buen amigo iraní y otro de Kuwait que hablan de conseguir música en el mercado negro y de lo intensa y sorprendente que es la experiencia. Y cómo valoran la música mucho más, porque es un riesgo poseerla.

• Before I had a kid, I was off in some kind of cosmic state all of the time, and thinking about the world beyond, thinking about intellectual stuff. And then, after I had a kid, just the whole process of giving birth is just so earthy and grounding and insane and it's all just an intense physical ordeal.

• Ellos [los banqueros de inversión] ni siquiera quieren las cosas que tienen, ya sabes, los coches de lujo y las casas. Su consumo es básicamente mantenerse al día con los Jones o vamos a comprar los marcadores de éxito porque esto es lo que se supone que debo tener y esto es lo que se supone que debo hacer. Y están trabajando tan duro que ni siquiera tienen tiempo para pensar en lo que realmente podrían desear.

• Tienes que enfrentarte al mundo con todos sus problemas, mientras sigues teniendo esta imagen alternativa. No se trata de estar en un lugar diferente o en el cielo, se trata de ver el mundo a través de ojos mágicos por un momento, y luego estar de vuelta en ese mismo mundo, y todo es aburrido y gris. Tener que recordar el color.

• When I was working at Omega, I took this Zen retreat, where you're quiet, you don't say anything for a week, and this guy there said, "You're going to be enlightened at the end of this week, that's my goal." I was the engineer, so I was recording everything at it was happening, but I was also participating, because I felt like it. So at the end of it, I did understand what enlightenment was, one-hundred percent.

• This is the world. I don't really believe in hell or heaven or an after life at all, I believe this is it. It can be a paradise for you, if you've got the right mindset. Or it can be a total nightmare. The song is just about remembering these moments of, you know, these epiphanies or magical moments of clarity that I think everybody has at some point in their life, often, while they're taking acid or something like that, or while they're doing really intense yoga.

• When I met someone who I thought was really talented, I would just be like, Wow! How did you get that way? And I met a lot of people who would just do anything to claw their way to the top, and it was just shocking and awful for me to see that for the first time. And now I live in Manhattan so I have become desensitized to that.

• I've always been curious about people's psychedelic experiences, and I kind of had this assumption that I was going to have some kind of crazy mindblowing psychedelia thing happening, but actually, it was very quiet, and I didn't have any hallucinations at all. Nothing changed, except that suddenly I could hear the voice of my conscience, which I didn't ever think of as being a real voice. And ever since having that experience, I've had that voice in my head and followed it occasionally.

• Así que Nemerov nos mostró esta imagen, que es de Apolo desollando Marcio. No se piensa en Apolo como el tipo de persona que desollaría a alguien vivo. Pero la historia detrás de esto era que había un tipo que era un gran músico, y todas las mujeres lo amaban, y la gente comenzó a decir que era el mejor músico del mundo, por lo que Apolo se puso celoso y desafió a este tipo a un dual musical. Cada uno tocaría una canción y las musas juzgarían quién era el mejor músico.
